RE-MED highlights the importance to quantify the impact of construction waste
Climate change, two words describing today’s most pressing issue. The world should be acting with all its means to reduce the impacts of climate change.
RE-MED highlights the cooperation of actors of the value chain in the construction waste management
Stakeholder engagement and collaboration are key parameters in the success of circular economy projects. From governments to researchers, private entities, and the general public, all actors in the construction and demolition waste management process contribute to the value chain and promote diversion from landfilling through the use of construction and demolition waste.
RE-MED promotes the use of construction waste for the environment and job creation
Just 10% reuse in nations while the targets are set at 70%! The figures call for deeper investigation. In the European union, 30% of annual waste production comes from the construction and demolition sector. Low reuse figures present a systemic danger to both the natural biosphere and to human health and if increased could be associated with huge benefits in nations suffering from a lack of natural resources for construction.
How to reduce landfilling and to decrease pressure on land use ? RE-MED answers.
Reducing landfilling has become more than a question of reducing pressure on land use but rather a question of habitability for our species on earth. Landfills cause irreversible damage to local ecosystems and landfilling materials which can be easily recycled seems inherently shortsighted.
RE-MED explains the environmental impact of using recycled aggregates in the building sector
As environmental challenges continue to rise, the need for transition to a circular economic model which considers ecological impacts is increasing. In the construction sector, waste produced through construction and demolition operations remain unexploited and undervalued considering their worth in promoting circular economy.
